CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

(1) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) based on the average of the high and low prices of the registrant’s Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 12, 2019.  A registration fee of $534,358.30 was previously paid in connection with the registration of 34,033,451 shares of common stock registered by the registrant under the registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-209694) filed on February 24, 2016, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated March 10, 2017 (the “Prior Registration Statement”), but that remain unsold. Such registration fee previously paid with respect to such unsold shares of common stock is transferred and carried forward for application with the offerings under this registration statement pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act and such fee paid in connection with the Prior Registration Statement is offset against the fees due under this registration statement for such unsold shares. As a result, the offering of such unsold shares of common stock under the Prior Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the date of effectiveness of this registration statement. A registration fee of $981.36 has been paid with respect to the 100,000 shares registered hereunder that were not registered on the Prior Registration Statement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information about us and this offering.  Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing.  Before you decide to invest in our common stock, you should read carefully and in their entirety this entire prospectus, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” and the documents we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus, along with our financial statements and accompanying notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Our Company

Incyte is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics.

Our telephone number at this location is (302) 498-6700.  Our website is www.incyte.com.  We do not incorporate the information on, or accessible through, our website into this prospectus, and you should not consider any information on, or accessible through, our website as part of this prospectus.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to “Incyte,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Incyte Corporation.

Entities affiliated with one of our directors, Julian C. Baker, are offering the shares of our common stock registered pursuant to this prospectus, which may be sold from time to time. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to all shares of common stock reported to us as held by the selling stockholders as of February 12, 2019.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, as well as the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Current Report on Form 8-K, as well as any prospectus supplement to this prospectus, and the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement to this prospectus before deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Common Stock and this Offering

Because the price of our common stock has been volatile historically, it may be difficult for you to resell the common stock at a price that is acceptable to you or at all.

The market price of our common stock, like that of the common stock of many other biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, has been and is likely to continue to be highly volatile. In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for reasons frequently unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the specific companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the market place and may be influenced by numerous factors, including:

·                  product sales and profitability of JAKAFI and ICLUSIG;

·                  the magnitude or probability of royalties and other payments from our commercial collaboration partners;

·                  announcements of data from, or material developments in, our clinical trials or those of our collaborators or competitors, including delays in the commencement, progress or completion of a clinical trial or adverse results in a clinical trial;

·                  actions taken by FDA or other regulatory agencies with respect to our, our collaborators’ or our competitors’ products or clinical trials;

·                  announcements of new products by us or our current or potential competitors;

·                  announcements of collaborative relationships by us or our competitors and our ability to enter into and maintain existing collaborative relationships;

·                  litigation and other developments relating to our products and our patents or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors or other litigation against us and our directors and officers;

·                  variations in our financial results;

·                  conditions in the life sciences, biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries;

·                  government regulation or legislation, including any developments in healthcare reform, and any government investigations or enforcement actions;

·                  sales of a substantial amount of our securities; and

·                  investors’ perceptions of us, changes in recommendations by securities analysts, and investors’ and securities analysts’ perceptions of general economic, industry and market conditions.

Companies that have experienced volatility in the market prices of their stock have been the object of securities class action litigation. If we were the object of securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, regardless of the merits.

Table of Contents

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you must rely on stock appreciation for any return on your investment.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends will also depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, you will have to rely on capital appreciation, if any, to earn a return on your investment in our common stock. Furthermore, we may in the future become subject to contractual restrictions on, or prohibitions against, the payment of dividends.

We have various mechanisms in place to discourage takeover attempts, which may reduce or eliminate our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares for a premium in a change of control transaction.

Various provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware corporate law may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control or takeover attempt of our company by a third party that is opposed by our management and board of directors. Public stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to benefit from a change of control or change in our management and board of directors. These provisions include:

·                  no cumulative voting for directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates;

·                  control by our board of directors of the size of our board of directors;

·                  limitations on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders;

·                  advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by our stockholders at stockholder meetings; and

·                  the ability of our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with rights that are senior to those of our common stock.

Future sales of common stock may depress our stock price

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the closing of this offering, or the perception that these sales could occur.

In addition, future issuances by us of shares of our common stock upon the exercise or settlement of equity-based awards would dilute existing stockholders’ ownership interests in our company, and any sales in the public market of these shares, or the perception that these sales might occur, could also adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

In the future, we may offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in order to raise additional capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders and you may experience dilution. You may incur additional dilution upon the exercise of any outstanding stock options or settlement of restricted stock units.

The market price of our common stock could decline if securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our company or if they downgrade us or other similar companies in our industry.

The market price of our common stock depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not influence or control the reporting of these analysts. In addition, if no analysts provide coverage of our company or if one or more of the analysts who do cover us downgrade shares of our company or other companies in our industry, the market price of our common stock could be negatively impacted. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which could, in turn, cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, that are incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements relate to future periods, future events or our future operating or financial plan or performance. These statements can often be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “expects,” “believes,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” or “will,” or the negative of these terms, and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties.

Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The following table sets forth, to our knowledge, certain information as of February 12, 2019 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders and the shares being offered by the selling stockholders. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the selling stockholders. Information with respect to shares owned beneficially after the offering assumes the sale of all of the shares offered and no other purchases or sales of our common stock. The selling stockholders may offer and sell some, all or none of their shares. This table does not include certain shares of our common stock held by affiliates of the selling stockholders.

(1)              Based on 214,054,253 shares of our common stock outstanding on February 12, 2019.

(2)              Baker Bros. Advisors LP (“Adviser”) may be deemed to have the power to vote or direct the vote of and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares of common stock and thus may be deemed the beneficial owner of such shares of common stock, which include: (a) 29,150,637 shares held by Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P.

On February 12, 2016, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Funds pursuant to which we agreed that, if requested by the Funds, we would register the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act.  Our registration obligations under this Registration Rights Agreement cover all shares of our common stock now held or later acquired by the selling stockholders, will continue in effect for up to 10 years, and include our obligation to facilitate certain underwritten public offerings of our common stock by the selling stockholders in the future.  This prospectus is being filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

·                  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·                  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·                  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·                  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·                  privately negotiated transactions;

·                  underwritten transactions;

·                  short sales effected after the date of this prospectus;

·                  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·                  through the distribution of the common stock by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;

·                  broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·                  a combination of any such methods of sale; and

·                  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, any shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under a supplement to this prospectus amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales

7

Table of Contents

of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented to reflect such transaction).

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us and the selling stockholders, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To facilitate the offering of the shares offered by the selling stockholders, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock. This may include over-allotments or short sales, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more shares than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if shares sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

The SEC permits us to “incorporate by reference” the information contained in documents we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents rather than by including them in this prospectus.  Information that is incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus and you should read it with the same care that you read this prospectus.  Later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information that is either contained, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus, and will be considered to be a part of this prospectus from the date those documents are filed.  We have filed with the SEC, and incorporate by reference in this prospectus:

·                       our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018;

·                       the information contained in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on March 14, 2018 and incorporated into Part III of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017;

·                       our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 3, 2019; and

·                       the description of our common stock contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed January 5, 1996, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

We also incorporate by reference all additional documents that we file with the SEC under the terms of Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are made after the filing date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, as well as between the date of this prospectus and the termination of any offering of securities offered by this prospectus.  We are not, however, incorporating, in each case, any documents or information that we are deemed to furnish and not file in accordance with SEC rules.

You may request a copy of any or all of the documents incorporated by reference but not delivered with this prospectus, at no cost, by writing or telephoning us at the following address and number:  Investor Relations, Incyte Corporation, 1801 Augustine Cut-Off, Wilmington, DE 19803, telephone (302) 498-6700.  We will not, however, send exhibits to those documents, unless the exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference in those documents.

The following is a statement of estimated expenses payable by the Registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, other than underwriting discounts and commissions.

*        Estimated expenses not presently known.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) provides for the indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Article VII of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Exhibit 3(i) to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and Article V of the Registrant’s Bylaws, as amended and restated as of November 15, 2017, Exhibit 3.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 17, 2017, provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant has also entered into agreements with its directors and officers that will require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

Item 16.  Exhibits.

Item 17.  Undertakings.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)                                 To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)      To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not

II-1

Table of Contents

exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A)          Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)          Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)           That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that

a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
